Description
Plaintiff Downey Savings and Loan Association (hereafter Downey) brought a bad faith action against defendant Ohio Casualty Insurance Company (hereafter Ohio) for denial of benefits under a fidelity bond issued by Ohio. A jury awarded Downey $152,983.43 in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. Downey appeals from that portion of the judgment denying it attorney's fees, while Ohio cross-appeals from the judgment against it. Reversed as to Downey's appeal.
